Welcome... To The Review of Tomorrow!

With the cancellation of futurama over three years ago, the cries from the die hard fans have been heard.

A four part DVD return brought the popular sci-fi cartoon back into the lime light. A few months ago "Bender's Big Score" hit shelves,with great response.

The History of Futurama

First aired in 1999, the show ran great ratings, and was the sparkle in Matt Groening's eye. Having always been fascinated with sci-fi culture, he thought there was no other way to pay homage, than to create a satire cartoon, mocking many popular science fiction classics. Unfortunately, the series only lasted four seasons before it got the mighty FOX axe.
Beast with a Billion Backs

Set directly after bender's big score, we follow as a rift in time and space, caused by massive time travel in Bender's Big Score, leaves the earth visited by a planet size tentacle creature. Using fry he tries to convert earth to his (tentacle monster) religion.

Cast

The cast remains the same, but David Cross joins as the voice of the monster. We still have the likes of Billy West, fry and others, and John Dimaggio, most notably as Bender.

Final Score

The movie definitely follows strong with the show and BBS. The jokes are just as off the cuff and witty. The film itself is just over an hour and a half, which is perfect for the content to remain fresh. Overall, I definitely suggest to buy this movie and watch it over and over again.

A Taste of Things to Come...

The intent for The Digital Life is to keep readers up-to date on all forms of digital media.

This blog will be updated daily, assuming everything goes well, and each day of the week will have a theme. For example, Media Monday will have an outline of what to watch on television for the week to come. Toying around with the idea of review tuesdays, showcasing the best cd's and dvd's of the week.

Interaction will be key to this endeavor. The idea of a day theme involving a moral or pop culture question only. Allowing you to comment or email answers to be posted.

Thank you in advance and I hope you enjoy.
